Désarmant resurrects the scent of the mysterious bottle found in a splendid Neo-baroque luxury hotel… Now, putting out a lilac scent today is a pretty bold move. Of course, everybody loves the spring flower. But it’s been ages since perfumers have given it a starring role.

Mossy undergrowth, luxuriant mauve clusters, vanilla-tinge nectar, and then that heady, animalic, almost leathery whiff the flowers exhale at the height of their blossoming… Désarmant returns lilac to its proper rank and refinement.
